Dorset Police as an employer also have a reasonable adjustment procedure in place which may need to be utilised during the training stage. Any specialist learning needs identified during initial assessment, such as dyslexia, are subsequently discussed with Head of Centre and the Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) and additional support provided to the learner. This could mean additional assessor/tutor visits to allow for more time spent with learner. Also, assessors should identify the appropriate method of assessment for that learner to suit their requirements. This may take the form of more observations and professional discussions as opposed to written personal statements and assignments. These needs will be added to the learner’s Individual Development/Learning Plan. Our HR Specialist in Attendance & Performance management would be involved in any testing or provision of reasonable adjustments that need to be made for a student officer. Any issues that are identified from either the USW procedures or DP procedures will be shared between both parties and any learner support plan that is required will be developed in collaboration with both the force and the University and, of course, the learner themselves.
